And now, The Sun has revealed that Victora, 48, spent time with Maya at British Vogue’s Forces For Change initiative dinner last month at The Londoner hotel, after being introduced by editor-in-chief Edward Enninful.

According to the newspapers insider: ‘The women discussed fashion after an introduction by Edward, who admires them both, and they hit it off well.

‘Maya loves expressing herself with clothes and has long been a supporter of Victoria’s work and, likewise, Victoria was delighted to meet the beauty as she has her finger on the pulse. 

‘Victoria thinks Maya is the future of the fashion world and hopes they can do more work together.’

On top of their meeting, Victoria posted an image of Maya’s recent shoot this week on Instagram, calling her ‘VB Muse’.

Previously Maya has been a guest at Victoria’s fashion shows and in 2019, at her Spring/Summer event, appeared in the same baby blue suit as Victoria’s mother Jackie Adams. 

This comes after Victoria described wanting to look thin as ‘an old-fashioned attitude’ adding: ‘Every woman wants a nice, round, curvy bottom.’

Meanwhile, Maya has always been proud of her curves. 

She told Cosmopolitan in 2020: ‘It’s so ridiculous that people use the angle of “you’re a woman, you should cover up”. We’re women, we have boobs. Some people are stuck in the past. You can’t police somebody’s outfit.

‘I’ve put on weight. When I was smaller, nobody would comment about the dresses (I wore) but because my boobs are bigger now, it’s offensive. 

‘You can be the best presenter in the world, but if you’re wearing a low-cut top, that’s going to be the only focus. It is stupid.’
